Energy Work 101: Clearing the Traffic Jams in Mind, Body, and SpiritIn this episode I explain energy work in a simple wayusing a traffic jam analogy:when something blocks the flow in our mind, body, or spirit—like stuck emotions, limiting beliefs, trauma, or even “energetic weapons”—it can create problems in mood, thoughts, relationships, and physical symptoms.I also clarify that energy work is a complimentary tool and doesn’t replace doctors, therapists, or good nutrition.Curious to see if energy work could help you?Sign up for my Very Awesome Friends Newsletter so you don’t miss new podcast episodes, the private podcast feed, free classes, and other helpful tools I share along the way.If something in this episode resonated with you and you are curious whether energy work could help, you can sign up for a free call with me.We’ll talk about what you or your child are experiencing and see if an energy work session would be supportive for your situation.Follow me on Instagram @awesomenonspeakers

In this episode, I share a message I often pass along from non-speaking clients to their parents:some kids believe they’re communicating mind-to-mind to their parents, because they can hear their parents’ thoughts and assume it works both ways.This can lead to frustration when parents don’t “listen.”In Spirit to Spirit Sessions I explain that most parents can’t hear their child’s thoughts, they “hear” with their ears.It will help your child if you tell them directly, “I can’t hear what you’re thinking, I only know how to hear thoughts with my ears” and to name the ways you can understand—pointing, leading by the hand, spelling, or using a communication device.I also encourage parents and siblings to keep speaking out loud because the nonspeakers are listening with their ears (in addition some with their mind) and want to be included.Check out my episode on my private podcast, “Telepathy Missteps: Why Words Still Matter,”Want to learn more about Spirit to Spirit Sessions?Head over to AwesomeAutismTools.com/spirit where you can read testimonials,listen to part of a sessionand get a better feel for what these sessions are like.From there, you can sign up for a free call to see if we are a good fit, or if you already feel ready, you can sign up directly for a session.Follow me on Instagram @awesomenonspeakers

This week I share about a documentary I saw at Sundance called Joybubbles,The film follows Joybubbles, a man born blind who learned to whistle into the telephone to make free calls in the 1950s and 60s as a “phone freak,” later working for the phone company and living independently, including in a high-rise apartment he’d long dreamed about.He describes a childhood near-death experience involving “bubbles of love,” which reminded me of the Hill and how kids have described similar “love bubbles.”Later, he watched Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood archives to heal.Near the end of his life he created a phone-based “podcast” of joyful recordings people could call, then reach him personally for support.The screening’s audio description also taught me new ways to make movies more accessible for blind loved ones and reinforced how essential communication and being heard are, especially for nonspeakers.Follow me on Instagram @awesomenonspeakersSign up for my Very Awesome Friends Newsletter - by clicking here.

Energetic Weapons: What They Are, How They Show Up, and How I Clear ThemI explain what I mean by “energetic weapons,”using the idea of feeling “stabbed in the back” as an example of an energetic attack rather than a literal weapon.I share how these can appear as knives, ropes, arrows, or even nontraditional items like a muffin (representing my son’s burden of responsibility in a club) or a book, and how a person, fear triggers like airplanes, or even a child’s self-injurious behavior can feel like energetic weapons as well.Then I explain how I work with clearing these in a session.Sign up for my Very Awesome Friends Newsletter so you don’t miss new podcast episodes, the private podcast feed, free classes, and other helpful tools I share along the way.If something in this episode resonated with you and you are curious whether energy work could help, you can sign up for a free call with me.We’ll talk about what you or your child are experiencing and see if an energy work session would be supportive for your situation.Follow me on Instagram @awesomenonspeakers

In this special episode, I interview Madison, a nonspeaking communicator who shares her thoughts by spelling on a letter board with the support of her communication partner.At times, Madison also says some of the words she spells. You may hear her communication partner say the words that Madison has spelled, and I’ve chosen to leave the interview unedited so you can experience her communication as it happened.I’ll also share a video version on YouTube for those who want to see the spelling process in action, along with a transcript so you can easily see/hear Madison’s responses to my questions… you can access both at this link:https://awesomeautismtools.com/madison-thoughts-about-the-hill/Madison says spelling is rewarding because it lets her express her thoughts and feelings. We discuss “the Hill,” which Madison says she knew before the Telepathy Tapes. And we also cover a lot of other fascinating topics as well!Follow me on Instagram @awesomenonspeakersSign up for my Very Awesome Friends Newsletter - by clicking here.

I ask first-time clients to send a picture of their child, but I learned not to open it until right before the session because the child’s energy would wake me early in the morning.I’ve been creating a client book with a Word doc for each client, including their name, photo, and notes from our Spirit to Spirit sessions,and it’s been joyful to revisit and summarize our conversations.Reopening each photo fills me with love and connection, and it reminds me of how meaningful it is when others love your kids.Like when my son Devon’s Cub Scout leader warmly accepted his sensory quirks.Through these sessions with nonspeakers, I feel privileged to connect deeply, share insights with parents, and help increase their love and understanding—one mom said she used to see her son in black and white, but now she sees all his colors.Want to learn more about Spirit to Spirit Sessions?Head over to AwesomeAutismTools.com/spirit where you can read testimonials,listen to part of a sessionand get a better feel for what these sessions are like.From there, you can sign up for a free call to see if we are a good fit, or if you already feel ready, you can sign up directly for a session.Follow me on Instagram @awesomenonspeakers

Today I talk about trauma and how it can affect both parents and children,and why birth trauma led me into energy work after my oldest son's anger noticeably decreased following a demonstration that cleared energy around our traumatic pregnancy and emergency C-section/NICU experience.I explain my personal distinction between “big T” and “little T” trauma, emphasizing that some trauma isn’t recognized as such until later.I describe how trauma often shows up as an incomplete freeze (or fight/flight) cycle and use a “hula hoop” image to illustrate how triggers can reactivate stuck trauma energy,then share how I energetically complete the cycle, clear triggers, and gently shift beliefs.Using examples (a child bitten by a puppy and my youngest Bryson’s beach/boat trauma), I explain that this work clears energy without retelling or reliving the event.See a sample session here https://awesomeautismtools.com/why-try-energy-work/Sign up for my Very Awesome Friends Newsletter so you don’t miss new podcast episodes, the private podcast feed, free classes, and other helpful tools I share along the way.If something in this episode resonated with you and you are curious whether energy work could help, you can sign up for a free call with me.We’ll talk about what you or your child are experiencing and see if an energy work session would be supportive for your situation.Follow me on Instagram @awesomenonspeakers

Today I share a small but powerful lesson:I kept clicking the wrong button while working on my newsletter, and I got frustrated—until I realized my water bottle was blocking the correct button on my screen.Once I moved it, everything was easy.I use this as a reminder that answers can be right in front of me, but I might not see them because something is in the way—like feeling ungrounded, taking on other people’s emotions, holding unprocessed feelings, feeling stuck in grief, or having blocked or unbalanced energy.I also talk about how fear and beliefs can block clarity,and I guide you through a simple breathing exercise to help notice what’s in the way, get grounded and shielded, and “move” what you can so your next step feels clearer.Sign up for my Very Awesome Friends Newsletter so you don’t miss new podcast episodes, the private podcast feed, free classes, and other helpful tools I share along the way.If something in this episode resonated with you and you are curious whether energy work could help, you can sign up for a free call with me.We’ll talk about what you or your child are experiencing and see if an energy work session would be supportive for your situation.Follow me on Instagram @awesomenonspeakers
